Do You Know What Makes Your Business Tick?

In November 2007, an amazing piece of software from Australia called “Profit Driver“ was brought to our attention by CCH Canada. It’s an incredible tool that has allowed us to look at and help businesses in a whole new way. It gives us the means to really help our clients in ways that go far beyond “traditional” services provided by accounting firms.

We spent the next ten months or so learning about the software’s capabilities and how best to use it. We ran test trials with a group of select clients – the results of which ultimately became the basis of our “Business Compass Service” that we refer to on this site. Trust us – this development work is necessary – the software represents a radical departure from software typically used by accounting firms.

Fast forward to October 2008 – Our test trials were nearing completion when the economic climate as we knew it exploded. All of a sudden, we were fielding calls from clients, anxious to understand the potential impact this recession might have on their businesses. We knew we could help them with our Business Compass Service so we started booking and conducting sessions right away. The results and feedback to date have been awesome.

We’re going to chronicle our experiences with our Business Compass Service through this blog, so that interested business owners and others out there can see the lessons learned along the way. We’re hoping the dialogue is going to be two-way and that people will add comments and questions.
